Cadillac CTS-V Coupe versus Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 - Click above to view the video after the jump (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/08/04/video-cts-v-coupe-vs-the-world-continues-with-shelby-gt500/)
Nearly every major media outlet has pitted the Cadillac CTS-V Coupe (http://www.autoblog.com/model/cts-v-coupe) against the best and brightest from the high-powered sports coupe segment, and thus far, the results have been predictable. Motor Trend brought the supercharged Caddy coupe to Germany for a full-scale battle (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/07/30/video-double-bill-c-d-and-mt-pit-cadillac-cts-v-coupe/) against the BMW M3 (http://www.autoblog.com/model/m3) and Audi RS5 (http://www.autoblog.com/model/s5), while Car & Driver brought the three sleds together for a entertaining track tango (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/07/30/video-double-bill-c-d-and-mt-pit-cadillac-cts-v-coupe/) with ear-bleeding audio.
Road & Track have taken another tack with CTS-V Coupe, opting for an all-American drag-race of the 556-horsepower Cadillac against the 550-horsepower 2011 Shelby GT500 Mustang (http://www.autoblog.com/model/shelby+gt500). The GT500 and the CTS-V Coupe are made within 100 miles of one another in southeast Michigan and two vehicles are within .3 inches of one another in overall length. The CTS-V Coupe has 41 more pound-feet of torque, while the Mustang is lighter. But which vehicle posts a better 0-60 time? How about the fastest quarter mile? Hit the jump (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/08/04/video-cts-v-coupe-vs-the-world-continues-with-shelby-gt500/) to find out.
